Market17 Jan 2028

Matvey Fedorov agrees terms with MFK Skalica

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Pohronie people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Market17 Jan 2028

Dávid Balog puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Pohronie, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad17 Jan 2028

16 days out for David Pekarik after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Pohronie will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Player ratings17 Jan 2028

No sign of nerves from Jakub Řehák at 20 — 7.62

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Jakub Řehák did not need any: 7.62, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Transfer targets17 Jan 2028

Alexis Colombet due for a Pohronie medical

Everything agreed with Púchov, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad17 Jan 2028

Tempers go at Pohronie

Jan Záviška was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad17 Jan 2028

A row about effort at Pohronie

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Jozef Špyrka was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets17 Jan 2028

Pohronie rebuffed over Denis Valko

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. KFC Komárno have kept their man, and Pohronie go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match15 Jan 2028

Denis Potoma the difference as Pohronie beat Púchov

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Denis Potoma. 2‑1 against Púchov, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market10 Jan 2028

Matvey Fedorov hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Pohronie can pretend not to have heard.

Squad10 Jan 2028

A fracture rules David Pekarik out for 25 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Pohronie will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match8 Jan 2028

The wait goes on for Pohronie

4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad10 Jan 2028

Words exchanged at Pohronie

Jan Záviška and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Market10 Jan 2028

MFK Skalica are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Pohronie will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Squad10 Jan 2028

A row about effort at Pohronie

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Jozef Špyrka was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets10 Jan 2028

Šamorín tell Pohronie: Vasileios Kaltsas is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Match8 Jan 2028

Pohronie caught on 86 minutes

The board was up, the win was priced in, and then Tatran Liptovský Mikuláš scored. There is no worse minute to concede in and the ground emptied in the silence that follows one.

Transfer targets10 Jan 2028

Pohronie try to borrow Alex Húdok

AS Trencin have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Denis Potoma hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Pohronie can pretend not to have heard.

Squad3 Jan 2028

David Pekarik breaks a bone — 33 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 33 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Boardroom3 Jan 2028

The scrutiny sharpens at Pohronie

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Pohronie is running low.

Squad3 Jan 2028

Words exchanged at Pohronie

Jan Záviška and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Boardroom3 Jan 2028

Pohronie counting the cost

The accounts make uncomfortable reading. Wages first and ambition second is the order of business at Pohronie now.

Squad3 Jan 2028

Jozef Špyrka falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Transfer targets3 Jan 2028

Pohronie rebuffed over Christopher Argueta

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. KFC Komárno have kept their man, and Pohronie go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match1 Jan 2028

A bad afternoon for Pohronie against MFK Zvolen

0‑1 to MFK Zvolen, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout3 Jan 2028

The manager makes an example of Dávid Balog

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad27 Dec 2027

David Pekarik breaks a bone — 40 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 40 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad27 Dec 2027

3 goals for Chinedu Onah

The match ball belongs to Chinedu Onah, whose 3 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Match25 Dec 2027

Pohronie come up short against Dukla Banská Bystrica

Dukla Banská Bystrica left with the points after a 3‑4 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad27 Dec 2027

Tempers go at Pohronie

Jan Záviška was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match25 Dec 2027

Nobody could stop scoring

7 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Pohronie and Dukla Banská Bystrica in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Player ratings27 Dec 2027

Chinedu Onah in the eights

A performance of 9.19 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad27 Dec 2027

Words at Pohronie training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jozef Špyrka is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout27 Dec 2027

Park Tae-Rang gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The dugout27 Dec 2027

Stefan Bozenik: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 3‑4, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Squad20 Dec 2027

David Pekarik breaks a bone — 47 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 47 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings20 Dec 2027

Jan Záviška scores twice — 8.38

Two goals and a mark of 8.38 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad20 Dec 2027

Jan Záviška in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Pohronie this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match18 Dec 2027

Jan Záviška among the goals in a wild afternoon

6 goals in one match, Jan Záviška on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Pohronie and Považská Bystrica.

Match18 Dec 2027

Pohronie come up short against Považská Bystrica

Považská Bystrica left with the points after a 2‑4 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad20 Dec 2027

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Jozef Špyrka was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout20 Dec 2027

No hiding place for Mohammed Sallah

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Mohammed Sallah, and the manager let it.

The dugout20 Dec 2027

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 2‑4 defeat, delivered by Stefan Bozenik to a room that had heard them before.

The dugout20 Dec 2027

Jan Záviška asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

54 days out for David Pekarik after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Pohronie will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Player ratings13 Dec 2027

Park Tae-Rang goes up and wins it — 7.75

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.75 for the rest of it.

Squad13 Dec 2027

Real improvement from Jakub Řehák at Pohronie

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Jakub Řehák is 20, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad13 Dec 2027

A falling-out at Pohronie

Jan Záviška and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match11 Dec 2027

Jozef Špyrka the difference as Pohronie beat Baník Lehota pod Vtáčnikom

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Jozef Špyrka. 3‑1 against Baník Lehota pod Vtáčnikom, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Market13 Dec 2027

Pohronie and Jan Záviška are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

The dugout13 Dec 2027

The view from the dugout

“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Stefan Bozenik, on a 3‑1 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.
